When Klorina swims with the current, she swims 10 km in 2 h. Against the current, she can swim only 8 km in the same time. How f

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Klorina's rate in still water is 4.5 km/h

Current's rate is 0.5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x km/h = Klorina's rate in still water

y km/h = current's rate

<u>With the current (current helps):</u>

Distance = 10 km

Time = 2 hours

Rate = x + y km/h

$10=2(x+y)$

<u>Against the current:</u>

Distance = 8 km

Time = 2 hours

Rate = x - y km/h

$8=2(x-y)$

Divide both equations by 2:

$x+y=5\\ \\x-y=4$

Add these equations:

$x+y+x-y=5+4\\ \\2x=9\\ \\x=4.5\ km/h$

Subtract these two equations:

$(x+y)-(x-y)=5-4\\ \\x+y-x+y=1\\ \\2y=1\\ \\y=0.5\ km/h$
